Intrapartum Skills and Simulation

This course provides graduate midwifery students with structured, hands-on practice in intrapartum clinical skills and emergency management using simulation, skills workshops, and competency assessments. Emphasis is placed on physiologic birth principles, recognition of variations and complications, intrapartum clinical decision-making, and safe performance of selected intrapartum procedures and emergency maneuvers. Structured skills assessments and simulation-based evaluations prepare students to translate theoretical knowledge into safe clinical practice and assume progressive responsibility in intrapartum clinical rotations.
